What can neuroscience tell us about the experience of becoming a father? Is it true that caregiving changes the structures of men’s brains? And, if so, what are the implications for our understanding of fathers’ role in the care of their children?
These are the kinds of questions explored in Dad Brain: The New Science of Fatherhood and How It Shapes Men’s Lives by clinical psychologist (and Fairer Disputations Featured Author) Darby Saxbe, which was published earlier this year.

Reclaiming Collective Intelligence
In Reclaiming Collective Intelligence, we argued that humanity’s survival depends on “improving our ability to improve”. Women’s roles as caregivers, organisers, and connectors place them at the heart of this process. Yet their intelligence has been systematically undervalued. Only half of women receive official disaster warnings compared to over 70% of men. Still, when disaster strikes, women are often the ones who mobilise, improvise, and stabilise. They are the living repositories of “what works.”

Fatherhood is changing, and the data now shows that this shift is real. New research from the American Institute for Boys and Men highlights a major trend that many couples are already experiencing in their own homes. After years of stalled progress, gender convergence inside the home has restarted, and fathers are helping drive the change. Men are spending more time caring for their children, taking on household responsibilities, and becoming more engaged in their children’s emotional lives.

There is a deeply held belief—one that is almost never spoken aloud but is ever-present—that professional and family life function like communicating vessels: what one gains, the other loses. Under this logic, balancing motherhood with a high-level career—whether in sports, management, or academia—is not a matter of two projects coexisting, but rather two projects competing for the same scarce resource: time, energy, and the ability to be present.
